Comfortably made all at Thirsk (5f, good) and gave it another good go at Doncaster (good to firm) having gone up 7lb; raised another 1lb for that but she's in form and well drawn to attack.

Has a soft-ground C&D win on her record; well handicapped on this year's best but she has a wide stall to contend with and she needs to step forward from her recent Catterick fifth.

Won over C&D (good) in April on reappearance before close third at Beverley (5f, good to firm); unplaced on next two starts but she was slowly away when sixth at Musselburgh then drawn widest when fifth at Beverley (5f, good); she's one to consider.

Well handicapped and returned to form with a near miss at Ripon (5f, good) where he raced prominently throughout; did carry his head quite high when push came to shove and rain wouldn't be appreciated.

He's having a mixed season and hasn't looked ready to pounce since a good Ripon run (5f) in July; needs a turnaround but he wasn't far away on his latest C&D start in March and is on a much lower mark now.

Form & Verdict
5lb lower than when last successful (September) and softening ground would be preferable; not beaten far in his first run after wind surgery and was drawn out of contention back at Chester ten days ago; stall 1 isn't ideal for one who likes to force the pace but he's respected.
